Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs skins removed (bone-in or boneless)
  • 8 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil to sauté vegetables
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 medium celery sticks finely chopped
  • 2 pieces carrots sliced into rings
  • 6 oz rotini pasta
  • 3 Tbsp dill fresh or frozen
  • 1 tsp Mrs. Dash or your favorite salt-free seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1 clove garlic pressed

Method
 

  1. In a large soup pot, combine 6 cups of water with 8 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Add in your chicken thighs and let the chicken boil for about 20 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the finely chopped onion and celery. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer them into your soup pot with the boiling broth.
  3. Add the sliced carrots and 6 ounces of rotini pasta into the soup pot. Stir gently and let this simmer at a low boil for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
  4. Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and let them cool slightly before shredding them into bite-sized pieces. Discard any bones or excess fat and return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  5. Season the soup by adding 1 teaspoon of Mrs. Dash or another salt-free seasoning. Press in one garlic clove and stir in about 3 tablespoons of dill.
